Did you know that blueberries grow in bunches? It’s their natural order to be among others, which may be why they’re so great at bringing people together! This season, gather your own bunch and head to your local blueberry festival for gooey, sweet-tart dishes and other local goods that are sure to get you in the warm-weather spirit. July may be National Blueberry Month, but if you ask us, this is a berry worth celebrating all season long.
